Default Funniest Reaction to your Challenger

While I've had many thumbs up, smiles, compliments from car to car, people taking pictures, and so on, this is the best.

I'm driving with the windows down, in town traffic, when I hear what you would describe as Beatles like screaming (for those old enough to remember that). This car of 5 girls rolls up next to mean and they are screaming, giving me the thumbs up with giant grins on their faces. The driver, who looks to be late twenties, saws how cool it is and with emphasis says, "that is a hot ride". I was laughing and thanking them for the compliment and didn't get a good look at all the girls, but the ages looked varied from 14 or so up to the drivers age. When they turned right, (I was going straight), they were still screaming, smiling, and flashing the thumbs up out the back window. Anyone had any other funny experiences?

Ive had a tun of crazzy people hanging out of windows trying to catch up to me. When i left a car cruise there was a line of cars waiting to come in and every car had the drive hanging out the window to see me comming. The best reaction yet to my car was today. Im driving down a 40 mph main street and this car in front of me has a guy in the pass seat video taping my car, so i get to the left of them and romp on her past them and slow down at the red light, when the guy pulls up next to me he is screaming omg omg omg i love that car!!!!!!!! I do have an exhaust on it already and it screams. People are litteraly having heart attacks over it.
Lets hear more funny stories, im sure there will be more to come on my end. I also had everyone who works at the local chevy dealer outside because i parked it in front of there buliding.

My best reaction yet came from a county sheriff. I was driving the speed limit on a 4 lane highway. I saw him coming up, so I moved into the right hand lane. When he got beside me, he slowed way down and gave the car a good look over. Well, that look last about 2 minutes without him ever looking at the road. His car began to drift left towards the grass median. My windows were down, so I could hear him hit the rumble strip, and yet still no reaction. He was still watching me. It wasn't until his car was 75% in the grass median that he turned to look at the road. Dust was flying everywhere and the cars behind us slowed way down. Needless to say, he jerked his car back on the road when he saw where he was. He was laughing and gave a big thumbs up and cruised away.

The reaction to the car has been great. My nephew is a saleman at the local Honda dealership and they wanted to see it. So I took it by for them to look at, the responce was overwhelmingly positive, they all came out to see it including the bosses. Next I took it to a car show on the 4th. The reaction was unbelivable, everybody even the ford and the chevy guys liked it. The best feeling was when I took a buddy for a ride in it. About three years ago(before the price went up) he sold his T/A challenger, I went by to take him for a ride and he loved it, he said, IT MADE HIS DAY.

Personally I think that's funny as hell.

Did you tell them it's a Dodge Challenger?
If you did, what did they say to that?

I absolutely corrected them on the spot. Then the dip wads go...aww yeah that's bad azz. I put it in a show last Saturday and some guy with more money than brains told his friend that this was Dodge's answer to the Camaro. Funny, I haven;t seen any Camaros running the streets yet.
